CHICAGO, Nov. 3, 1887.
Gov. Richard Oglesby, Springfield, Ills.
SIR:-In order that the truth may be
known by you and the public you repre-
sent, we desire to state that we never advo-
Gated the use Of force except in case Of self
defence. To accuse us of having attempted
to overthrow law and government on May
1, 1886. or at any other time, is false as 1t is
absurd Whatever we said Or did was said
and done publicly. We have never con-
spired or plotted to commit an unlawful
act While we attacked the present social
arrangement in writing and speech and
exposed their iniquities, we have never
consciously broken any laws. We never
planned the killing of anybody at the
Haymarket, or anywhere else, and the very
object of the meeting was to protest against
the commission of murder. We believe it
to be our duty, as friends of labor and lib
erty, to oppose any other use of force than
in the necessary defense OF sacred righs
against unlawful attacks. All our efforts
have been in the direction of elevating
mankind. and to remove as much
as possible the cause of crime in
society. Our labor was unselfiSh. No mo-
tives of personal gain or ambition prompt
ed us. Thousands and thousands will
bear testimony to this. We may have
erred at times in our judgment; yes, we
may have loved mankind not wisely, but
too We'll" If, in the excitement of the
propagation of our views we were led to
expressions which caused workingmen to
think that aggressive force was a proper
instrument of reform we regret it. We
deplore the loss of life at the Haymarket,
as ut Mccormick S. at East st. Louis and
at the Chicago stock yards.
Very respectfully, a. SPIES,
MICHAEL SCHwAB,
SAMUEL EIELDEN.

largely upon the weather. 1t is confident

stored sufficiently to meet the car
The coming session of the rcchstag will
be neither so long or so momentOuS as the
last one. The party relations are still as
favorable to the government as when the
army bill was passed. Nevertheless, the
North German Gazette appears doubtful
Of the fate of the wor!lman's insurancebill.
1t also expects the deputies TO remember
that, besides turning the defensive powers
of the state, they have a higher and dis
tinctly more difficult duty to perform: that
of developing and improving the country.
On this, it says, rests the empires economic

Killed While Resisting Arrest.

NEW ORLEANS, Nov 5-A dispatch from
Franklin to the Timcs-Democrat says: Re
liable information was received here today
that four white men were shot by strikers
while attending cane carriers near Ber-
wick. The sheriff, on receipt of the in
formation, summoned a posse of about
forty men from this vicinity and left for
the scene of the shooting, increasing the
posse along the route to about eighty.
Captain Cade's company passed down to
Berwick on the noon train. Rumors are
current that laborers at Irish Bend will
strike Monday. Advices from the upper
part of the parish and bayou OF Cypremort
are that all is quiet and that laborers are
all at work.
y dispatch from New iberia to the Plea
yune this afternoon, SAYS: 1t is Gu trent
here that several men had been killed at
Pattersonville, and that some color is given
by the fact that Captain Pharr has received
orders from General Patterson to move
with artillery and all available men at
once 10 Houma. The rangers left here by
train for Pattersonville this morning in
compliance with orders.
Captain Cade this evening telegraphs
from Pattersonville as follows: Six pris-

BOLD BANDITS.
The Mexican Bandits Still Carrying Things
With High Hand.

| BROWNSVILLE, Tex, Nov. THE bandit
| element has completely terrorized the up
| river border counties between Edinburg
and Roma since the abduction of Sir Be
rara, who was held until 1,5OO Mexican
dollars were paid for his ransom. Almost
every prominent merchant or rich resident
| on the upper border has received COM
munication ordering him TO deliver UP a
ranging from 500 to $1,000, on
pain of being abducted or tortured
to death. A perfect reign of terror
exists, and well-to-do men walk around
like the Scotch mobiles in the olden time,
with strong force of heavily armed re-
tanners at their back. The border sheritfs,
who are poorly paid, are doing what they
can with their deputies to hunt the rob
bers down, and small force of rangers
have been sent out by Governor Ross TO
enough to round the bandits up
in such large extent of wild bottom
and wooded country. District Judge j.
c. Russell, who is large ranch owner in
Star county, acknowledged chat the civil
authorities were unable to cope with the
matter.
In the meantime the bandits are continu-
ing their work On Monday at high noon,
the entered the Havana ranch, in Hidalg0
county, place of about 500 inhabitants,
surrounding the store Of Magdileno
Flores, drove the occupants out and
robbed the place of every ounce oh
goods it contained They then tore off the
doors, smashed the windows and thr eaten
ed to return and burn and sa ok every
house in the place. The band num-
bered twenty-one men. The day before
another party of bandits. about twenty
strong, attacked the Attasosca TT nch, on
the San Juan river, few miles above Ca
MARCO, Mex, and sacked the place, abus-
ing and outraging the people. They were
pursued by Mexican cavalry under Capt.
1amadrido, and one Plasueles, a leader,
and another bandit secured. Plasueles
was executed at Camargo this mo rning
and the other will suffer the same fate.
LamBdrido an active officer, has at his
command all the men that he wants
and gets step in rank for
every bandit captured President
Daz has ordered that the severest
measures be used to put kown banditage
on the border and General Velaip in COM
mand Of this military district is anxious to
cooperate with the American authorities
and drive out and eliminate these pests.
The state authorities of Tamaulipas are
very lukewarm. Their party newspapers
openly attack Velain for causing the cap
ture of Lorenzo Nela a noted bandit and
the murderer of Sheriff Martin of Stair
county, who was sent to the fortress Of
San Juan de Ulloa at Vera Cruz, and are
trying to excite sentiment among the
people in favor of the wretches and against
the party of law and order.

LONDON. Nov 5-Advices from St. Paul,

ceived there from Henry NJ Stanley, under
date of September Sth, to the effect that
the expedition b left the Campo that he
established about night days journey from
the Mabodi coun,& and was advancing
towards the westein shore Of Albert Ny
ANA. The men were greatly fatigued, and
struggled with difficulty over the distance
OF several kilometers The most important
chief OF the country through which the eX-
psdition had travelled, readily complied
with Stanley's request for food. Stanley
halted for four days to rc0rgauize the eX-
petition, and then leaving thirty men to
guard this new camp proceeded toward
albert NyanZa. He intended to form
a camp on the fertile slopes of the
mountains bordering Albert Nyanza,
and TO dispatch a small advance guard
toward WadelGi in a steel whale boat under
command Of Lieutenant Staers, unless he
beard fresh news Of Emin Bey. Stanley
says he had learned that Emin Bey was in
good health. and that the country to the
southw ard of Albert Nyanza had become
much quieter. He had written letter 10
lambunga requesting provisions to enable
him to reyictual Emiu Bey. Owing to the
events at Stanley Falls and the state of the
country, there was u difficulty in finding
POrfers who were willing TO penetrate into
the unknown country beyond Yambunga
unless Stanley accompanied them. Stan
ley hopes to be able to communicated directly
with Emin Bey by September Is. The ex-
plorer says he found Maboli populous and
hospitable country.
